The Irrelevant Leaders II
This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.
Hello. Tiger is shown so often, even when he's not contending, because of ratings. Tiger brings the borderline golf fan to the TV. He's a marketer's dream, one player who can make even a dying event like the Canadian Open (which I hear is on this week) meaningful.
And the leaders? Irrelevant who they are. They just happen to be on the leaderboard ahead of Tiger, by fluke if you listen to the commentators.
Now don't get me wrong. I like Tiger Woods a lot. And I want to see him a lot if he's contending. But I don't want to see him walking up fairways, talking to his caddie or waiting to hit a shot, especially if he's not in contention. And I especially don't want to here commentary about Tiger that is subjective. If he's not playing well, say so.
Padraig Harrington and Sergio Garcia trying to end Europe's 8-year major drought. Andres Romero having 10 birdies in the final round trying to win back-to-back titles for Argentina. That should've been relevant for much longer than what is was. Unfortunately it wasn't because none were named Tiger.
Regards,
Irrelevant
